96W85 - ESAB 96W85 Strain Relief Bushing 7/8 Inch

Genuine ESAB 96W85 Strain Relief Bushing

Maintain the reliability and safety of your welding fleet with the ESAB 96W85 Strain Relief. Designed specifically for 0.875-inch (7/8") mounting holes, this component is an essential spare part for welding technicians and maintenance personnel. Strain reliefs, also known as cord grips or cable glands, play a vital role in anchoring power cords and interconnect cables to the machine chassis. They ensure that any tension applied to the cable—whether from dragging the machine or repositioning the feeder—is absorbed by the chassis rather than the terminal block or circuit board inside.

Technical Reliability

The 96W85 is manufactured to ESAB's high standards, ensuring a secure fit that resists loosening over time. In heavy-duty welding applications, vibration and movement are constant. A substandard or ill-fitting strain relief can lead to cable insulation damage or intermittent power issues. This OEM part provides a tight seal around the cable, offering protection against dust ingress and preventing the cable from twisting or pulling out of the housing.

Installation and Compatibility

This strain relief is compatible with a wide range of ESAB equipment and can also be used in universal applications requiring a .875" mounting hole. Installation is straightforward, typically requiring the bushing to be snapped or locked into the panel knockout. Once installed, it provides a professional, finished look while ensuring compliance with electrical safety standards regarding cable entry protection.

Keep your shop running smoothly by keeping essential repair parts on hand. The ESAB 96W85 is a simple yet indispensable component for any welder's maintenance kit. Trust Welders Supply for all your genuine ESAB replacement parts and accessories.
